Background

Frickie was said to be a controversial South African who was accused of financing conflicts and a string of humanitarian crimes. He had also been linked to weapons smuggling, gem dealing, the slave trade, and drugs; all allegations which he strongly denied.

By 2008, Frickie finally received a visa to enter in the United States, this caused controversy among liberal politics who demanded that Frickie to be put on trial for his war crimes. However, immigration authorities turned a blind eye to this accusations, citing the fact that Mr. Van Hardenburg took several senators on a safari last year and that he is a very nice guy once you get to know him.

Events of TBOGT

Frickie was in possession of a Buzzard helicopter and he also owns a very large group of bodyguards and arm dealers, who protect his helicopter and yacht.

Luis Fernando Lopez is ordered by Yusuf Amir to steal Frickie's Buzzard. He makes his way to Frickie's yacht using Yusuf's speed-boat. On the yacht, Frickie delivers a short speech on his helicopter, giving Luis the time to steal the Buzzard unnoticed.

Taking the Buzzard, Luis is ordered by Yusuf to destroy the yacht. Luis uses the helicopter to destroy the yacht. The yacht is then blown up, killing Frickie and most of his men. His surviving guards attempt to escape the sinking boat, but Luis chases them down.
